People are losing it on Twitter because of misshapen Reese's Christmas trees

As the holiday season begins, companies are rolling out their Christmas-themed products — and some consumers are disappointed that their beloved seasonal goods aren't 100% perfect.

As Nikita Richardson of Hello Giggles jokingly pointed out, this started when Starbucks rolled out slightly less festive solid-red coffee cups. And now, misshapen Reese's Trees are threatening to spawn another wave of hashtag activism.

For the past few days, chocolate lovers have been tweeting at Reese's because their beloved Reese's peanut butter Trees are coming out misshapen. See, the trees are supposed to have a jagged silhouette to mimic the branches of an evergreen — not the smooth, soap-bar-like shape that many of these tweets show:

Reese's spokesperson Anna Lingeris told Tech Insider she'd look into the situation, but noted that people are still really excited about the seasonal treats, which taste slightly different from regular Reese's cups.

"People look forward to the different seasonal shapes because of the different ratio of peanut butter and chocolate," she said. "We're happy the consumers look forward to this and it's this novelty item we only provide at certain times of year and seasons."

The first tweet we could find was from November 13 and showed a cracked Tree.

"This isn't the perfect experience we hope for," Reese's is responding to these tweets. "Please send us a note so we can help."

Some of the customers are getting more aggressive than others.

The caps lock button is definitely being deployed.

Some might think the smooth candies are aesthetically pleasing, but not these customers.

If you go back a little farther, you'll see that people were also happy to complain about the shape of their Reese's Pumpkin candies, too.

Guess some people just have high standards for their plant-shaped chocolates.

This one doesn't even look that bad! Maybe this is all a ploy for free chocolate?
